Parallele No.126 | Paring Knife | Beech

The Opinel Parallele No.126 paring knife has a short 8 cm X50CrMoV15 stainless steel blade (55–57 HRC) and a beech handle, 17.65 cm in overall length: the most versatile everyday piece in the Parallele series.

The short, sturdy blade is the tool for fine chopping, peeling and slicing: with onions, garlic, herbs and smaller fruit and vegetables, the 8 cm length allows more precise control than a larger chef's knife. The heel of the blade can also be used for push cuts on a small cutting surface.

X50CrMoV15 steel is durable, rust-resistant and easy to sharpen, the same blade quality used throughout the Parallele series. The beech handle gives a rustic, natural look that goes particularly well with wooden chopping boards. It is also suitable for slicing smaller pieces of meat, cheese and bread.

Specifications:

• Blade material: X50CrMoV15 stainless steel, 55–57 HRC
